No_Neck 0 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 don't limp the first one, just fold, you don't have enough money, also because he is a laggy player you don't want to set mine, if he was a nit that you are sure had AA or KK then a call is still horrible. :)Second one I check raise allin on the flop, maybe lead for 200, you are going to have to go down with the flop since you don't have any monies behind.

mtdesmoines 2 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 First hand; fold. Be nitty and rich in this spot. Second hand: Just shove. It's your only way out and you have a very tenuous grip on this board ... Link to post Share on other sites

Do not push with this! The raise is too big to make it worth your while to call and try to hit a set.Hand 2 I am going to push in. There is too much money in the pot. Might as well go all the way. If someone has flopped a better hand, oh well. Link to post Share on other sites
Sheiky 0 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Open raise the first one if you had a full stack, not sure when you're playing with 170. Link to post Share on other sites
Metternich 0 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 snap fold the first one, no matter how much you have behind IMO. 55 9 handed just isn't a good hand and you don't want to be playing it UTG. Just shove the second one since you don't have much behind, maybe AhJx will call and you will have a race or something. Link to post Share on other sites

Sheiky 0 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 At a 9 handed table full stacks i think you should open any PP.I do at 6-max, and Issac Haxton said on his video that you should do it at FR to, i agree with him. Link to post Share on other sites

I have an each way bet on Ram Vaswani and Phil Laak reaching the final table, made it about 6 months ago when I was drunk Link to post Share on other sites
NoBBiR 0 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Check raise the second one AI on the flop.First one, RELOAD PREFLOP. Otherwise just fold. Get some more money to play 2/5 with, or go play 1/2 because you just aren't deep enough to get like any real strategy playing short stacked. Link to post Share on other sites
